"GRASS COLLECTION MACHINE

"

THE FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

The invention relates to the field of agriculture, especially to harvesting and harvesting and more specifically to grass harvesting machines.

THE HISTORY OF THE INVENTION

The grass collection machine disclosed in the present invention has not been disclosed in the prior art in this particular form.

Balers are widely used in agriculture as they are machines that compress and shape cut grasses into compact bales that are easy to transport, store and generally manage. Bundles can be ball shaped or rectangular shaped.

Until today, the problem that arises is that the balers deposit one bundle at a time, with the result that their collection becomes difficult and particularly time-consuming. There is therefore a requirement either for the existence of workers who will manually, or with some separate machine, collect and group the bundles. This requirement delays the process, increases labor costs and generally makes it difficult to collect the bales.

It is thus an object of the present invention to advantageously address the aforementioned disadvantages and shortcomings of the prior art by proposing a grass collection machine.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a hay harvesting machine, which applies to all balers, without the need for conversions and modifications.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a grass collection machine which sorts multiple bales, which are deposited in octets in the field.

A further object of the invention is the presentation of a grass collection machine, which is entirely of metal construction, having the necessary robustness for use in the prevailing conditions.

Another advantage of the invention is the presentation of a grass collection machine, which has sensors with which both the arrangement of the bales and their depositing are automated. An additional advantage is that when the bales are extracted from the baler, when placed on the machine, they are rotated facilitating their sorting and gathering.

An advantage of the present invention is also the presentation of a grass collection machine, which has carriers that keep the bales lined up on the grading surface, regardless of the terrain on which the tractor moves.

These and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent in the following detailed description.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED APPLICATION

Referring now to the accompanying drawings we will describe illustrative applications of the hay harvesting machine, so that its innovation, its advantages and its mode of operation become apparent.

The grass collection machine of the present invention consists of a metal frame with a base (1), Fig. 5, on which the bales (2) are placed, as they exit the baling machine. The machine has at least two wheels (3), on either side of the base (1), without this being restrictive for the use of more than one pair. As it exits the baler, each bale (2) ends up on an inclined base (4), Fig. 2, which is aligned behind the exit of the baler. The inclined base (4) forms an obtuse angle with the base (1), in conditions of rest, while it has a hydraulic drive system, which uses as an energy medium the oil, from a bottle (5), Fig. 4, in this particular situation, to it brings the inclined base (4) at right angles to the base (1), effectively overturning the bales (2) that are on it and rotating them by 180°, in such a way as to make their collection easier. The activation of the hydraulic system for the movement of the inclined base (4) is done by a sensor terminal (6), which is located at the rear of the machine. This means that as soon as a second bale (2) is extracted from the baler and pushed onto the inclined base (4), it will push the first bale (2) towards the back of the inclined base (4) by activating the terminal sensor (6). In turn, he will activate the hydraulic drive system and the inclined base (4) will overturn the bales (2) on the base (1), freeing the space on it to receive the next ones coming out of the baler. , bales (2).

The grass collector has on either side of the base (1), beams (7) on which a central beam (8) rests across the width of the base (1). On either side of the central beam (8) are suspended and connected to it by arms (15), arms (9) that have a flattened end (10) for aligning and compressing the bales (2) onto the base (1) of the machine. For this reason, the arms (9) have a damping spring (11), which gives them the necessary elasticity, with the aim of simply contributing to the alignment and retention of the bales (2), while the height of the flattened end (10) from the base (1) is adjusted accordingly, taking into account the corresponding dimensions of the bales (2) resulting from the baling machine.

Antidiametrically to the inclined base (4) at the end of the base (1) there is a handrail (12), which is supported by at least two supports (13) on the base (1), while it is supported by at least one metal end (14) with the arm (15), by means of an articulated joint (16). When four pairs are completed, i.e. eight bales (2), on the base (1), Fig. 2, the tipping valve (17), located on the side of the handrail (12), is activated by the contact. In this way, a second hydraulic drive system with an oil bottle, lifts the front part of the base (1), Fig. 6, overturning the bales (2), which are placed in pairs of four on the ground, ready for collection. In the event that the operator wishes to overturn the bales (2) either from the inclined base (4) to the base (1), or from the base (1) to the ground, without the predetermined number having been completed, he has the option to activate the corresponding hydraulic drive system, by activating the appropriate sensor. Furthermore, it should be emphasized that the connection of the grass collection machine to the baling machine is made by means of a link (18), as they try according to the circumstances. Finally, the operation of the hydraulic drive systems requires the supply of oil, which is done through flexible pipes, which are not shown here, and which end up in the oil supply of each tractor, while in an alternative implementation of the invention there may be a separate, independent supply oil.

It should be noted here that the description of the invention was made with reference to illustrative examples of application, to which it is not limited. Therefore, any change or modification in terms of shape, dimensions, morphology and the materials used and construction and assembly components, as long as they do not constitute a new inventive step and do not contribute to the technical development of what is already known, are considered included in the aims and objectives of the present invention.
